With its majestic Oriental Pavilion and ornate decorative carvings, the Concert Grove was intended as a Victorian-inspired setting for the open-air concerts popular in the late 19th century.  The site boasts an impressive composition of radial walkways and flowerbeds, along with a rich collection of bronze sculptures of classical composers and historical figures, such as Ludwig von Beethoven, Washington Irving, and the first statue of Abraham Lincoln  errected after his assassination (learn more about Lincoln's fascinating relationship with New York at the New York Historical Society).

Restored to its original beauty in 1987, the Oriental Pavilion features a stained-glass cupola and medieval, Hindu-inspired columns. Once a teahouse, it now provides a luxurious vantage point from which to enjoy the refined style of the Concert Grove. At the base of the Oriental Pavilion along the Park Drive you’ll find Harry’s Wall, which commemorates Harry Murphy, a founding member of the Prospect Park Track Club. Harry’s Wall serves as the start and finish line for many road races in the Park.
